Re: Dave Challinor Interview
Thought that was actually rather reserved given what happened in the game. Richie would've been a bit more animated I suspect
Just hope this isn't the precursor to the EFL now looking at VA-farce for our level, no-one wants that ruining the games

Re: Dave Challinor Interview
He's a decent manager, and it's a reasonably measured repsonse (in the circumstances)
Let's hope to some extent though they've lost their heads a bit over this and will lose focus in the second leg..
We can play better than yesterday. Only Stockport fans will know if they can as well..

Re: Dave Challinor Interview
He’s properly rambling there. I think what he’s trying to say is that he’d be more concerned if the officials thought that Beckles had touched it and still didn’t give offside, but he then starts saying that if they haven’t seen Beckles touch it then that’s the most concerning thing.
Interesting to see that basically the entire Stockport team lost their heads over that dodgy goal. It completely trashed the rest of their first half performance and Challinor openly admits that he needed to re-motivate the team at halftime because of it. I know a bad decision like that is frustrating but it was in the first half of a two leg play-off. It’s hardly like it was the deciding moment of the whole tie. For a whole team to be so negatively impacted by it rather than automatically using it as a fuel is quite telling.

Re: Dave Challinor Interview
He rambles in every interview. Watching 10 minutes of a Dave Challinor interview you lose the will to live. Top manager mind you.The Reverend wrote: ↑Sun May 11, 2025 9:07 am He’s properly rambling there.

Re: Dave Challinor Interview
I didn't think he was that bad, the scary thing is though it's offside regardless of who has won the header

Re: Dave Challinor Interview
Am I missing something? Kelman wasn’t offside from the first header. It was Beckles touch on that made him offside.essexfootball wrote: ↑Sun May 11, 2025 1:48 pm I didn't think he was that bad, the scary thing is though it's offside regardless of who has won the header

Re: Dave Challinor Interview
I could be wrong but if Beckles touches it is obviously offside but for him to be onside from the defender it would have to be a deliberate backward header by the defender who is aiming for the keeper, ie it's where the defender wants the ball to go or appears to rather than where it ends upBoniO wrote: ↑Sun May 11, 2025 2:09 pmAm I missing something?

I'm sure it happened in the Bundesliga a few months back

Re: Dave Challinor Interview
It glanced off Beckles’s left forehead, as he arched backwards towards the goal.
From the South Stand it was obvious the ball changed direction.
but, I can easily imagine that the Lino saw no change of trajectory from his angle, and assumed he hadn’t touched it = onside in his mind.

Re: Dave Challinor Interview
Think he is a good manager and person. I know 2 people who have worked with him, doesn't take him self seriously, likes to play it up a bit . Likes to do team talks as a laugh when players are stressed. Realises it's great to be I'm football in a managers role/ coach

Re: Dave Challinor Interview
Wellens reaction to this going against us would be apoplectic. Can completely understand why Challinor was so hacked off, even if the decision wasn't inexplicable in that you can see why they missed Beckles's touch.

Re: Dave Challinor Interview
Yet to see conclusive evidence of Beckles touching it. Is there any footage from behind the goal?

Re: Dave Challinor Interview
He did - it took about four/five replays from different angles (shown on Sky) before it became visible.Long slender neck wrote: ↑Mon May 12, 2025 11:06 am Yet to see conclusive evidence of Beckles touching it. Is there any footage from behind the goal?
So, yes - it was offside. No, it wasn't the biggest travesty of justice since Eve got Adam lobbed out of paradise. VAR would have picked it up, don't think it was reasonable for the match-day officials to have spotted it on the day.
